There is no 'average' weight for a 41-year-old woman. Weight is related to height and body composition. What counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat . For more information about this, see the page link, further down...

Q: My older brother 29 is getting married to a white woman 41 years old.Over weight and has two children. One black baby, one white baby (don't know who fathered her second child)My brother 6'2" Japanese guy had a one night stand with her (yeah, how stupid!!!), and she claimed she's pregnant. Now, as hardcore Japanese as my brother, he decided to quote end quote taking responsibilities of his action by marrying her.First of all, my bro makes good money, and she's the typical Jerry Springer guest, I don't think she deserves my brother, period. My brother should pay for his one night stupidity, I agree, but should he at least get a DNA test? I love my brother to death, but I think she is taking advantage of my brother!!! I post another question regarding this, feel free to check it out. Thank you

A: What does he see in her? You have to help him get out of this. It isn't the Black kid and White kid's fault that their mom is a nutbag, but it sounds like too much drama for your brother.

What should my weight be?

Q: I am a 41 year old woman and I've been gaining weight lately. I am 5'6" and I weigh 146lbs.To me this is too much weight. I used to always be thin. Everybody in my family is thin. To the point that we would try to do anything we can to gain weight.When I was too thin, I always wanted to gain weight but now that I am, I don't like it :(I was always right around 103lbs.So this weight now seems like too much.I can't exercise...I've been trying to but because of my health problems I am very limited. And since I've been trying to just walk, I had to spend 2 days in bed.I'm really not eating too much, the same as always.I just don't like this weight.I know I was too thin...and didn't like that either.But am I too fat now?My hubby doesn't say anything either way.He says he likes me with a little more weight on rather than me being so thin before.But not sure if this is too much weight.Becareful what you wish for, you just might get it!!!

A: i am 5'4 and weigh 145 lbs if i could grow 2 more inches i would be perfect..... but that is for my body build if you have a very slim skelatal structure then you may want to trim off a few pounds if you have broad shoulders and hips the 146 sounds about right but remember your health if walking is stress on your body because of medical conditions dont over work yourself or not eat properly eat things that are nutricious and try some yoga some thing very low impact that has a relaxing effect on the bodyalso if youare taking medications for anyhting those could be making you put on weight as a side effectand im sure its not what you want to hear but you could be going through "the change" my mother is in denial but she is gaining weight as a result of menopauseconsult your doctor he/she will be able to tell you if your weight is right for your height and build and whether or not you should consider losing or gaining because of your healthand tell hubby to speak up when you ask an important question like "am i fat?" his opinion matters! :-)
